Chapter 463 Personal Ventures
They met for the first time today. “Oh, I remember now. Have you gone through the induction procedures?” Samantha nodded. “Mr. Wood helped me with it.” “I heard you were working at Kanes Corporation prior to this. Why did you leave your job?”
“I wanted to return to my roots. After spending years overseas, I wanted to develop my career back home and Nolan Group was my first choice.”
He was very satisfied with her answer. The reason she gave and the way she spoke were pleasing to hear. “Why did you make our company your first choice?”
“Nolan Group is well-known all over the world. There isn’t a person who doesn’t dream of such a huge career development.”
Eugene nodded along as he listened. “How long did you work at Kanes Corporation?”
“For six years.”
“Were you the one who got the project with Continental Group?”
She answered straightforwardly, “Yes.”
“Tell me your thoughts on Kanes Corporation and Continental Group.”
“Kanes Corporation is my former company. They treat their employees well and have good welfare and benefits. Looking at long-term business prospects, though, I think Continental Group exceeds Kanes Corporation. These days, traditional business operations are slowly being replaced by digital operations. Big data should be at the core of a company. A company that masters the use of big data will be the winner!”
His eyebrows shot up, showing that he was impressed with her answer. “Not bad.”
“I heard that Nolan Group is also developing this smart technology.”
Glancing over her information once again, he said, “Yes. You should come with me to the negotiation at noon today. I’ll have Curtis send you the details later so you can prepare for it.”
“Yes, President Nolan.”
“You may leave now. I’ll call you if I need anything.”

North spent a long time searching last night, but it was just as Ellen had mentioned: there was no security monitoring system thirty years ago so there was nothing for him to find. All he could do was slowly comb through the classmates they had gatherings with and the owner of the hotel. However, the information he got was not very helpful. Finally, he decided to return to the Will-o’-Wisp Headquarters and use their network to continue searching. After all, their network was connected to all the information in the world. Without Will-o’-Wisp, he would not be able to find anything.
…
The following day, Olivia took North to the Will-o’-Wisp Headquarters. She was not too worried so she did not wait for him there. Once she dropped him off, she returned to her studio right away. On her way back, she received a call from Marcus whose exasperated voice came through the phone as soon as she answered. “Did you think your film would screen itself after you went for that audition?”
Olivia knew that she was in the wrong. The film crew had started filming earlier on, but she had gone to an audition that day. After that, she thought about treating Brian first before returning to the set. In the end, however, Eugene had tricked her into going to Promise Island, which caused that delay.
“I know, but I’ve been busy these few days. Here; how about I go to the film set tomorrow and the day after?”
There was still anger in his voice. “Director Norris has been calling me for the past few days and I don’t even know what to say to him. If you still don’t show up, I will find someone else. I’ve never met a less devoted actor than you!”
She sneered to herself. “Go ahead. It’s not like I want to be in this film that badly. Who was the one who insisted that I had to act in this?”
“Don’t think you’re that great just because you’ve been in one movie before. If I had known that you were such a handful, getting a new actress and letting her familiarize herself with the script would still be easier than dealing with you.”
“What are you waiting for? Look for one quickly. There’s still time!”
He grunted. “Don’t be ungrateful! Who do you think I’m doing this for?”
As she walked down the steps, she said, “Me, me, me. You’re only being this demanding because you want me to become a global superstar. But I was out these few days and I just came back. I have to visit the studio. I’ll go tomorrow, okay?”
